TFG super PAC promoting Susan Wright ahead of Texas House runoff

A super PAC aligned with former President Trump dropped $100,000 on an ad campaign boosting Susan Wright in the lead-up to the runoff election in Texas's 6th Congressional District.

The super PAC, Make America Great Again Action, spent $5,000 on ad production and another $95,000 to place the television spot, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission. The ad campaign was first reported over the weekend by the Dallas Morning News.

Wright is facing off against fellow Republican Jake Ellzey in a runoff on Tuesday to represent Texas's 6th District, south of Dallas and Fort Worth. The two candidates are vying to replace Wright's late husband, former Rep. Ron Wright (R-Texas), who died in February from COVID-19.

Trump endorsed Susan Wright ahead of the district's May primary contest, and has continued to boost her throughout the runoff campaign. The former president is expected to headline a virtual get-out-the-vote event on Monday.

I told him, "No, I will never vote for a Trump supporter."

Not that he’d be much better, but at least it’s an opportunity to tell Donny to STFU.
